The Rectifying Revolutions? Organizational Futures in the New Eastern Europe
分析了东欧民主革命中多元的组织未来愿景,指出转型面临私有化规模、民主设计资本主义及社会成本累积等问题,国家与各方利益相关者争夺控制权,民主化命运取决于冲突结果。
The democratic revolutions in Eastern Europe were united in what they were opposing, but contained diverse visions of organizational futures. Whilst their leaders claimed to be rejoining the path of western modernity, a view echoed in Habermas's notion of the `rectifying revolutions', past communist experience structures the shape of emergent organizational forms. The transformation encounters problems of the scale of privatization and of creating capitalism by democratic design, whilst social costs are accumulating. The state, weakly embedded in society, confronts a legacy of ambiguous property relations in which the former nomenklatura, workers' collectives and other stakeholders struggle for control of the transformation. The fate of democratization and the shape of the new organizational modernity will depend on the outcomes of these conflicts.
